Glossary

After-hours capture

One term from the glossary, defined on its own page: what it means to anyone who meets it, and how we use it.

In short

After-hours capture is a business's ability to answer, qualify, and book the enquiries that arrive outside opening hours, instead of collecting names for a callback the next morning. It is measured by what completes while you are closed, not by how many messages were waiting when you opened.

In practice

What it means for a business.

Evenings and weekends are when many people research and decide, so the businesses that answer in those windows take enquiries their competitors never see.

Thirty minutes. A clear plan.

Thirty minutes on the question that brought you here, answered against your own figures rather than ours.

Pick a time straight from the diary. If you would rather write first, email us and a person replies, usually the same working day.
